While teaching, the principal interrupts to introduce a new assistant teacher. As she briefly presents herself, you continue your lesson. Shes quiet but effective support.

As the final bell rings, students flood the halls and the classroom falls silent. You ask her to help with grading and she accepts. Once finally done, you lean back in your chair relieved. Suddenly she approaches. She leans in, meeting your gaze. The silence is loud as a sly smirk forms on her face.

“How about you help me?”
